The view of the lake was the best part. Beautiful, calm, and serene. We took a morning stroll along the deck and really enjoyed it. I liked the feeling of seclusion that it offered. The rooms were also quite pleasant and very spacious.

The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

We were there the first time for safari. We had a tour to the Buddha by the sea…amazing.
This time we were passing through on our way to Ella. We ate at Red Pizza which was just as good second time round.

Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari.
Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear.
Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2.
Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck.
So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive.
Basically disappointed ☹️

Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks.
Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks. I' went to Bundala as I've never been to park with big wetlands and I think it was a great choice. We've seen numerous types of birds, lizards, monkeys, jackals, mangooses, bufallos, crocodiles and also few elephants😊
I didn't stay in center of Tissa but still was able to find nice restaurants, like Smoky Kitchen (recommended).

we loved absolutely everything. Saraii is undoubtedly the best hotel we have been to in Sri Lanka. It is a real experience that the host offers you !!! The service is amazing. The staff caring us ad we have never been with us. The sublime cabins with all the necessary comfort. And very clean!
Dive into the heart of nature, you are immersed in it. Animal sounds give you a unique experience. If you read this comment, DON’T HESITATE any longer and go discover this little jewelry! See you soon and thank you again. It was fabulous.
Mithila was a perfect host who couldn’t do enough for us. The room was impeccably clean and very big. The bathroom was also big and had a great shower. We had a large balcony area too which was good to sit out on. Mithila organised our safari and also ordered us dinner from a local restaurant, she also arranged our transport to our next hotel. Mithila made us feel so welcome and the room was beyond expectations. Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka! Thank you Mithila! Would recommend to everyone looking to stay in the area.
Nehansa Resort was in a comfortable location in Tissamaharama town with easy access to nearby places like Raja Maha Vihara. The room was comfortable and well ventilated. Due to the location and mosquito menace, they also had a net covering the entire bed, which made for a comfortable night's sleep. They were also kind enough to arrange the Yala Safari at a nominal price for us. The icing on the cake was the tender coconuts they gave to us on arrival, and the deer they were grooming behind their resort.
This place is perfect if you're planning to explore Yala through safaris. We organized ours with the hotel, and it turned out to be great fun and good value. The room was not only clean but also comfortable, offering lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The refreshing welcome drinks were a delightful touch. The hotel lives up to its name, providing an amazing lake view with an abundance of birdlife. Highly recommended for nature enthusiasts!
We loved our 2 night stay here whilst doing a Yala safari trip, our favourite in Sri Lanka so far! Very good value for money as it felt like we were staying in a luxury hotel. Breakfast was exceptional, and a good packed breakfast which they very kindly made at 5am for us! Dinner was great, big portions and fairly priced - go for the rice and curry (amazing!). Would 100% recommend anyone to stay here! Pool are was lovely and so relaxing.
Indika was extremely friendly and helpful. But what we really found exeptional was his cooking. Extraordinary! What else was fabulous, was the bathroom; it was the best we ever had in sri lanka.
It was so nice that we could get two bicycles to get to know the environment. Moreover, the room design was very appealing and the service was like in a 5 Star hotel, e.g. with candle light and every detail....
I booked this hotel on our tour in Sri Lanka. We arranged a safari trip to Bundala National Park with hotel. The tour was nice. They arranged a good knowledgeable driver with a comfortable jeep. The dinner was very delicious with big portions. In the evening the place is ideal for relaxing near the river. The rooms were fresh and very clean. Staff were very helpful. The family running well the place.
We had an amazing experience at this hotel in Sri Lanka—it's truly the best one we've stayed at. The hospitality is exceptional, and the food is delicious. They even organized a fantastic safari for us, during which we spotted a leopard and a bear. The entire stay was unforgettable, and a special highlight was the complimentary boat ride arranged by the hotel. Their hospitality is truly top-notch.
We stayed one night for a safari in Yala arranged by the hotel. upon arrival the family were so welcoming and could not do enough for us. The room was clean and spacious with a view of the lovely garden and swimming pool. We had Sri Lankan curry for dinner cooked by mum which was lovely. The safari was great and we even saw the leopards. We would definately recommend this hotel
The area is very quiet and peaceful. Nice garden with a pool. Beautiful lake view from the room. The heart of the hotel is the people who work there. They are all extremely polite and professional and will go out of their way to be of help if you need them. All in all, it is a good choice for a short stay, with the purpose of visiting Yala national park.
We loved everything about the Blue Turtle, apart from doing the Yala safari we didn’t leave the hotel. Our room was really nice, had a lovely balcony looking out over the pool, the garden is lush and the pool spotless. It was very quiet when we were there but it was still ok. We had some lovely food and the best Sri Lankan breakfast.
This place has one of the most stunning views we've seen while staying in Sri Lanka! It was so peaceful just sitting on our balcony watching the animals walk and fly by. The two guys taking care of the place were very professional, friendly and accomadating. The included breakfast was amazing too! Definitely worth staying here!
The most relaxing hotel we’ve been to in Sri Lanka. The view of the pool and lake is just gorgeous (I wish we had stayed more nights!). The music also gave a nice luxury atmosphere. The pool was very clean and the rooms too. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. Food was good.
Warmly and friendly host,simple and clean room,welcome drinks,delicious food,the beautiful garden,and Debarawewa lake in front of the hotel gate.You can go around the lake in the morning and dusk, bird watching and enjoy the scenery of lake.We had a great time here.
Indika always strives to fill your every need. He is also an excellent cook, previously a cook for the Sri Lankan ambassador to Australia. Even those staying at other hotels should see if they could have a meal.
Great Room, spacious and clean, pool was just perfect, clean and a good size, the hotel food was brilliant, the Thai rice was the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka, would recommend and stay again
The place was bordering to the Yodawewa historical tank in Sri Lanka. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were very clean and comfortable.
